[JDEV] xdb_ldap, etc.

[Constantin Nickonov]

Mark,

You've advertised yourself on the JDEV list as the author of Jabber's LDAP
interface, and just when I've been looking for some help with it. I've
loaded OpenLDAP on my machine, and made the README.LDAP changes (with a few
obvious modifications) to my 'jabber.xml' file. The configuration doesn't
work... I am new to LDAP, and am figuring things out on the fly, so it could
be something very simple.

Let me tell you what I need to do right now... In going from Jabber 1.0 to
Jabber 1.2, we're going to migrate the user information in jabber.com from
flat files to LDAP. So, I need to have a good idea about the structure of
the database. Can you help with this? I'll probably just use a Perl XML
parser combined with the command-line 'ldapadd' to make the translation. If
you have any ideas about any of this, please throw them my way.

Any help appreciated.
